DPCyric Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 I can't catch a break it's all a shitshow and about the only thing that is good out of this year took an innocent person's life (the BLM movement). I've been wanting to rant for awhile now but I have an image I like to keep... I guess today is not the day for keeping that image! Quote
TheLeon Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 You call that a rant? Come on man, let it out. Quote

There is so much shit going on this year and so many people in a worse spot I feel like my problems are pretty insignificant in comparison. That's really saying something in itself I'm a Leo and normally it's all about me Quote

That is a really hard way to lose someone close to you Also flooding sucks I got to deal with it again this year in a new way! Sump pump went out and what the flooding last year didn't ruin that did. Last night I was pretty salty because I rarely ever lose anything but somehow I lost my cheap ass productivity/gaming phone. Most things that happen I accept are generally out of my control but that was on me Good news is that I have an excuse to buy a new one even though it's not really in my budget now! Bad news is I have to change all my fucking passwords Edit: Guess I might as well go further with this since I got this far already *deep breath* Grampa had a stroke right after all this started, dad got MRSA, Gramma broke her hip, my fiancee's favorite dog got attacked by another dog and died, I got to comfort a deer for 20 minutes while it died after someone just hit it and drove away (I've done a lot of animal rescues but idk why this one has hit me hard), I'm down about 5k in income because I was driving Uber for the bar scene and was hired for another job that got pushed back till August, my fiancee and daughter live in Thailand I haven't seen them since April last year and was gonna go see them for Easter (now I don't even know if I will get to see them this year thanks Covid! But fortunately it's under control in her country and she is in a farming village far from any big cities) and that about sums it up *exhales* Quote
SaysWho? Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 I feel very fortunate that things have gone well for me so far. But shit, for many others I know, when it rains, it pours. Quote

I think the eternal 'someone has it worse' thing people get into is unhealthy, let that shit out. I know it's just an overwhelming amount of people have it worse now At least in my case almost everyone is still alive, I still had one of my jobs through all this and I have a great family. Last week just triggered me I lost my wallet early in the week (found it fortunately) and losing my productivity phone was the last straw... I hold myself to a pretty high standard and making those type of mistakes is something I normally don't do. On top of that I even thought about being more careful with my phone because it's fallen out of my pocket once before so it's totally on me Things seem to be going better now at least I'm actually making profit driving Uber again, in August the census job starts up, I might have a job lined up selling stuff on Amazon for a friend that owns a game store and I will be getting a professional resume made up to look for a moderator job.

Yeah but again though, as long as you're not using it to shit on those who have it worse, there's absolutely nothing wrong with just existing and living your life and reality in my opinion...and therefore bitching about it once in a while. And I get the position you're in, when it rains it pours and when those small pressures mount one by one, it's hard to keep cool. I used to flip out about shit like that regularly myself. At least things sound like they may be looking up right now with a potential job lined up that you mentioned? Quote

It's just been hard going from a position of good credit last year and having everything planned out to this. Hopefully I will get to sell stuff for my friend online soon it pays better than Uber during the week. Then in August the Census job pays well and about the time it finishes up overtime should be starting at my full time job! I at least feel like I'm starting to get somewhere now Quote

Nope keeps going I thought maybe I was digging my way out of the hole but today ruined that. I have a 4 day weekend was planning on making a ton of money driving Uber and it started to go well... Then I had a tire blowout taking someone to the airport in Detroit, found out my license is suspended as of yesterday from driving without insurance (I had insurance working on getting my license back) and now I've been stuck in Ohio all day waiting on someone to come get me. I've been up since 7:30 last night even if I get things fixed with my tire today I still have no license to drive for a few days... Another grand in the hole it seems All I want to do is work and get everything straightened out, I barely ever have any free time anymore but every time I get close to just breaking even something happens. I'm afraid that I will lose my fiancee and daughter at this point I really don't like constantly letting her down I am trying so hard but the results are shit Quote
